umm..i don't think you will need to install sims 2 before installign sims 3.
To install any sims 2 expansion packs you need to have the sims 2 installed. You cant just install sims 2 seasons for example, you need to have the sims 2 installed. It should say that on the box somewhere.
if you mean expansion packs yes
you can but it would not be wise it takes up extra space and the games will be separate so i would recommend that you uninstall the sims 2 before installing double deluxe
No you do not. you just must have the base game installed.
You need to have installed the sims 2, the sims 2 deluxe, or the sims 2 double deluxe, but not all of them. You just need to have the regular sims 2 installed to install and play it.
If you are talking about installing a Sims 2 expansion to the Sims 1, it is impossible. You can only install the Sims 2 expansion packs into the Sims 2, not The Sims 1 or 3.
no, if you want to install the sims 2 you do not need the sims 1 installed.
You can't, you need to have Sims Pets installed.
Do you mean the sims 3 world advantures, coz if yes thn yh u need to install thm, if no is it an expansion pack if yh thn yh u need them installed...
No, you don't. You will only need the sims 2 disk four if you wish to re-install the sims 2. To play nightlife you need the sims already installed/the two nightlife disks that came with the game and the serial code. Go to support.ea.com to get information on getting a replecement disk. =]
Nightlife is all ready installed. If you can't find it, uninstall, then reinstall Double Deluxe. (I had a problem installing it, but nightlife was there).
